    can't reset pin due to "account disabled"


    So, I tried resetting my pin; but the thing is it says that my account is disabled. So I went into safe mode, and I went to the program to uncheck the option "Account Disabled". I press apply/ok, but then when I check, it says Account Disabed, and its checked. Any way how to fix this, cause I really don't feel like resetting my computer.

    :)

  2. Resetting PIN on HP Pavilion 11k102U

    Hi,

    To reset pin to can follow the below steps:

    • Click on the Windows icon in the left-hand corner of your screen, you’ll open up the Start menu. Next click on
      Settings.
    • When the Settings app opens, click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign-in options on the left pane. Under the PIN section, click on the “I forgot my PIN” link.
    • The password reset procedures differ between Microsoft account and local account.
    For Local Account:

    • If you’re using a local account, Windows will prompt you to verify your local account password. Enter your password and click OK.
    You’re now prompted to set up PIN again. Enter 4 digit number for your new PIN login and click
    OK. If you want to remove and disable the PIN, click Cancel.

    For Microsoft Account:

    • If you PIN is for a Microsoft account, you’ll see this confirmation dialog. Click
      Continue to confirm that you really forgot your PIN.
    • Microsoft will send you a security code to validate that you are the owner of the Microsoft account. Enter the recovery email address for verification and click on
      Next.
    • Check your email account and look for a message from Microsoft account team. Copy the security code from the mail and paste it in the Code text box. Click on
      Next.
    • Now you can either set up a new PIN or click Cancel to disable/remove the PIN login completely.
    Thank you.
